Are your baseboards covered in a thick layer of dust because you always neglect to wipe them down? DIY blog Apartment Therapy suggests you can clean them off with dryer sheets so they stay clean longer.

The idea makes sense. The reasons baseboards get so dusty (and covered in hair if you own an animal) is because the static draws the dust to them. A dryer sheet will coat the baseboard as you wipe it down so it continues to do its job long after you've finished cleaning. It prevents the dust from collecting and makes it so you only have to do a quick sweep of the floor and not get down on your knees to clean. This expands the dryer sheet's already impressive usage as a computer case fan cleaner, a polish for fixtures and faucets, and to clean pots and pans.
